Test report from CoMod Carrera 124 for the Carrera D124 Ferrari 330 P3/4 Le Mans 1967 "No. 22" (23731)
Scuderia Filipinetti
A red Ferrari—that's not unusual so far. After the sister cars with starting numbers 23 and 24 had already appeared in the analogue range, this variant now completes the armada from the model year 1967. The visual impression is dominated by the wide white stripe on the roof, and the bold blue edges of the wheel rims further distinguish the car from the other two red vehicles.
If you take the Ferrari out of the pits and directly onto the track, the result is initially unsatisfying: the rear wheels sink deep into the wheel arches, the rear end droops, while the front end rises aggressively. Things can't stay this way...and fortunately, the appearance can be improved in a few simple steps: The standard 1/24 chassis offer the option of adjusting the ground clearance separately for the front and rear. Therefore, the rear axle is set to "high ground clearance," while the front axle is left in its factory state, i.e., "low ground clearance." I also remove the compression spring on the front axle. With these adjustments, the car sits upright and is much more visually appealing on the track. And this applies not only to this color variant, but to all versions of the 330 P4 released so far (and, incidentally, also to the Ferrari 575).
Technically, it's familiar fare, and therefore absolutely nothing new to report. The 330 P4 will probably never be a time fighter for me again. Other cars achieve significantly better lap times on my test track. However, my test car impresses with truly smooth-running axles and rims, as well as tire grip that's just as good as that of the tuned tires. This allows the car to drive quite smoothly and smoothly even without magnets, and will therefore continue to make occasional race appearances in the future.
